Relief For Inter Milan As Spain Vs Argentina Finalissima Cancelled, Giving Nerazzurri Captain Less Recovery Pressure | OneFootball

Inter Milan have been handed an unexpected benefit following UEFA’s decision to cancel the Finalissima between Argentina and Spain, with the cancellation removing the external pressure that had been accelerating Lautaro Martinez’s return from injury.

The match, which had been mooted for San Siro on March 27th, was called off due to the situation in the Middle East.

And, indeed, the inability to find a suitable alternative venue to Doha.

For Inter, the news brings a degree of relief.

Inter Milan Relief As Lautaro Recovery Eased With Finalissima Cancellation

According to Sky Sport, via FCInterNews, the club now feel they can manage the captain’s recovery with greater care.

And, indeed, without the rush that had been building as Lautaro pushed to be fit in time for the international fixture.

The priority has always been having him fully fit for the Scudetto run-in, not half-fit for a prestige friendly.

The Finalissima is now off the table.

Therefore, the risk of pushing him back prematurely is significantly reduced.

Whether he will be available for Sunday’s trip to Fiorentina remains to be seen.

With the coming days set to provide a clearer picture of his condition.

Inter are not prepared to take any chances.

Especially with a player they cannot afford to lose again at this stage of the season.
